My sweetie just finished her medical and was blindsided by a 500 RON HPV vaccination...just a heads up to anyone that will go for the medical soon.

Bring plenty of money, the total exam was close to 800 RON.

what? since when do you have to have HPV vaccination? thats just a preventional shot for cervical cancer.

That's not even recommended for adult women... HPV is absolutely not a requirement!

What can you do when you don't have an option? They said she needed it and wasn't given a choice.

are you absolutely sure she couldn't have refused? O_O besides, it's a shot you need to get three times (like the hepatitis ones), so 1 shot is absolutely useless. they just wanted the money. it takes nine months to get a full round of HPV vaccination--1 shot every three months.

I think it was a scam. This is definitely not a requirement. HPV vaccine is recommended to like 11-12yr old girls... per the CDC.

yea thats why i thought it was weird that they made her have it, and as someone pointed out, you have to have it 3 times, one time just to enter the US is pointless.

Also vaccinations are not required for the K-1. My wife was at her medical and they "forgot" what visa she was applying for and gave her an update and then realized she was a "K" applicant. Certain vaccinations are required for AOS and they do recommend that you get them done abroad because many times it will be cheaper.....

The CDC recently released an updated vaccination requirement for USCIS which included several new vaccines but K VISAS DO NOT REQUIRE VACCINES UNTIL THEY APPLY FOR AOS. Remember that the medical exams are not opperated by the consulates and do not know the laws. JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET A COPY SO THAT IF USCIS LOOSES THEM SHE WON'T HAVE TO DO THEM ALL OVER AGAIN IN THE US.

I don't know a lot about these shots and my fiancee hasn't been to her medical interview yet, but in our instructions HPV is listed as one of the required vaccinations.

[Nina+Matt 0]

wow, thats ridiculous! i think they just recently put that on the list so that they make sure, at least to a certain point (since that shot doesnt make you 100% immune against cervical cancer), that immigrants wont suffer from cervical cancer and claim treatmemt form their health insurances!

I will have my medical exam in ~ 2-3 months.

I wonder if i can refuse this HPV vaccine?!?!

Is absurd to get it now....!!!!

... gues i should wait and see

[Nina+Matt 0]

wait until you get packet 3 from the embassy and check what vaccines are required now. those vaccinations are due for your aos, so you dont have to get it to get your k1 visa. but you would then need to get the missing vaccinations here in the us before filing your aos.

maybe someone can tell us what the 3 hpv shots cost here in the us, could be cheaper than in your homecountry.

oh i just saw that your not going the k1 route. in this case i dont really know when you have to have all the required shots.

hope someonw else can help you out!
